Chillin' like a villain with Yeva

The new girl, Yeva, is also Soviet! She's only nine and I'm almost 11, so I have to take care of her. She doesn't speak English yet, but she says she knows a way she can talk to everyone else.

Yeva brought a giant stuffed Krokodil Genadii with her! Now Cheburashka has his best friend, so they can play together.

See those giant bows on Yeva's head? Practically all Soviet girls wear them. My mama never put them on my head when I was little and I was so jealous of everyone else's beautiful bows. I told Yeva that- and she said she hates wearing them!
